The gel of this siliceous/germanium metal prepares according to the co-precipitation of following reaction equation:
This reaction is implemented from following the beginning:
1. the metasilicate pentahydrate sodium aqueous solution or the sodium metagermanate aqueous solution, perhaps with mol ratio x: the mixture of two kinds of solution of (1-x) this,
2. be diluted in the metal chloride solutions of metal-salt (with the moisture absorption crystallized form) preparation in the distilled water with one or more, and
3.1N hydrochloric acid soln.
The preparation of the gel of this siliceous/germanium metal is undertaken by following following experimental program:
1. mixing salt acid solution and metal chloride solutions,
2. the solution to Starso and/or sodium metagermanate adds this mixture; The co-precipitation gel forms immediately,
3. at centrifugal (3000-7000 rev/min, 5-20 minute, for example 3500 rev/mins, 15 minutes) and after removing supernatant liquor (sodium chloride solution of formation), reclaim gel,
4. water particularly with distilled water or this gel of hypotonic water washing, carries out at least two-wheeled washing/centrifugal simultaneously,

For this reason:
With prior drying or be placed in reactor/autoclave with the gel of liquefied form;
2. under agitation add the solution of the carboxylate salt (with form hydration or anhydrous) that comprises at least a formula R-COOM ' to described gel,
3. randomly, regulate the solid/liquid ratio to 2-20, especially (amount of liquid is with cm for the value of 5-15
3Express, the amount of solid is expressed with gram),
4. under predetermined temperature of reaction, within whole treatment times, reactor/autoclave is placed on drying oven inside.
Randomly, can behind the solution that has added the carboxylate salt that comprises formula R-COOM ', make gel drying, in order to can for example store until the moment of hydrothermal treatment consists.In this case, will need only the gel of the drying that the comprises carboxylate salt liquid/solid ratio of wanting with foundation mixed with water.
Inventors can observe, and the temperature of hydrothermal treatment consists has impact to the granularity of the particle that obtains.This temperature is lower, the particle that is synthesized less (at 300 ℃ of lower tens Nano grades, with for higher temperature approximately ten microns contrast).
Similarly, inventors can notice, and relatively few hydrothermal treatment consists time is enough to allow initial gel agglomerate to change crystallization and heat-staple solid material into.
In the hydrothermal treatment consists process, the gel of siliceous/germanium metal is lost the particulate state crystalline structure that its glue denseness increases in time to take its degree of crystallinity gradually.Observe this material crystallization gradually by X-ray diffraction analysis, it shows as the quick appearance at characteristic peak sharpening and that strengthen fast in treating processes at corresponding diffracting spectrum.
When this hydrothermal treatment consists finishes, obtain to comprise the colloidal talcum composition of the phyllosilicate mineral grain that is suspended in the water.With regard to this hydrothermal treatment consists, by centrifugal (at 3000-7000 rev/min, 5-20 minute) then remove supernatant liquor back and forth packet receiving be contained in gel in the reactor.Supernatant solution comprises the salt of described formula R-COOM ' and can be retained in order to reclaim this carboxylate salt and make its recirculation.
Subsequently, with the gel that reclaims preferably water wash, particularly with distilled water or low infiltration, carry out simultaneously at least two-wheeled washing/centrifugal circulation.
Subsequently, the solids composition of the last time centrifugal rear recovery can be carried out drying:
-under 60 ℃ in drying oven 12 hours, perhaps
-by freeze-drying, for example at CHRIST
In the 1-2LD Plus type Freeze Drying Equipment 48 hours-72 hours.
Obtain at last solids composition separately, its color becomes with the character of the metal chloride of the preparation of the gel that is used for siliceous/germanium metal (same, when needing, the separately ratio of these metal chlorides).
